Raised in Laguna Beach California, Ryan was exposed to art at an early age. During his teenage years his mother owned a gallery which gave him hands on experience with the art world. In 2008 the artist Andrew Myers hired Ryan. Shortly after that Myers became his mentor.
In 2010 Ryan created his first series of sculptures titled “Hands of Time” and applied with them to the Festival of Arts in Laguna. He was the youngest artist in the summer of 2011 to be accepted at the age of 23. Since then he has been building up more skills which include drawing and painting to name a few.
In 2021 Ryan’s artwork was featured on the 2nd season of the popular Apple Tv+ program “The Morning Show” starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. The artwork is on display in the bedroom of the main character “Alex Levy” played by Aniston.
Ryan is very fortunate to have friends that are masters in many different forms of art and professions. Everything from oil painting, color theory, photography, mixed media, sculpture, video production, and woodworking to name a few. With all those talented friends and mentors Ryan continues to be able to express his creativity in many different forms.
